So this is what we had on the weekend.
After a heavy breakfast consisting of a spicy gravy and flat rice dish (will
post the recipe soon) we were too full and wanted something simple but tasty
(it has to be)
This is a very common quick fix dish in
West India, usually served after a heavy spicy meal.
Ingredients: Serves 2
1¼ cup boiled rice (Basmati)
1 tsp. cooking oil
2-3 Dried red chilli or red chilli flakes
½ tsp Mustard seeds
4-5 Curry leaves- (dry them properly so oil
doesn’t splutter)
Pinch of Asafoetida
¼ tsp. chilli powder
¼ tsp.turmeric powder
½ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp cumin powder
Salt to taste
Method:
1.
Heat oil in a small sauce pan
2.
Once hot, add the mustard seeds
and asafoetida. The seeds will crackle.
3.
Then add curry leaves.
4.
Break the chillies and add
them.
5.
Mix everything together, before
adding rest of the spices.
You can add salt to the rice or in the
mixture. It’s easier to salt the rice when you cook it and season more if
needed.
Chopped coriander can also be added as a
garnish. You may have some chopped carrots/onion along with the rice if you
like raw salad.
Just eat a bowl full of this and relax!!
